I picked this up for $2.00 or so a few months ago out of a junk bin. Finally pulled it out of the stack to see what it grades. Can it go higher than Fine? Thanks! -CH27   Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

obverse VG10, reverse F12. reverse may help push it to F12 overall

I saw that too USSID. It looks better in hand, so it may be market acceptable even if it was. Thanks everyone!

USSID, I will either hang on to it and put it in my collection or sell it at some point.  Washington's aren't my favorite series, but I pull nicer coins (or varieties) out when I can. Thanks again! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

I do actually, but I'm considering breaking it up. I have barely any complete (just the 30's, some 40's) and a lot of it is in rough shape. If I do decide to continue the album, I want some better coins . For now, I may just focus on varieties. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

I guess you're looking for these: https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/was...eties-768259 Many years ago, I focused on completing a set 1932-1980, all AU or better. Not Varieties. I had a 39-S DDO in my album for many years and didn't know it! That's embarrassing! It came out of a straight graded PCGS MS64 slab. I never even thought of doubling checking it until recently, when I started looking much closer at my coins! Makes me wonder if the submitted or PCGS knew or even cared. The moral of my story is; check and double check your coins for varieties and errors. Edited by USSID18

I am always looking for the big 5: The 1934, 1937, 1942-D, 1943, and the 1943-S DDOs. I also search far and wide for the 1936 FS-101, 1942 FS-104, and multiple other CPG (cherrypicker's guide) varieties. I cherry-picked the 1942-D FS-101 a while ago in XF, and sold it. Now I am hunting down the other biggies-which I plan to keep this time. The 1939-S DDO you mentioned: Which DDO was it? I would certainly be surprised but also happy if I discovered a DDO in my collection I didn't know about. Did you hang on to it? Sorry for such a long reply-I got carried away listing my most-wanted quarter varieties  . Thanks again! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage
